Words coming out on MicrosoftWordXp

[tottie]

hi,
we have a notebook running on windows xp, with office xp. when we open microsoft word, there are words coming out as if somebody is typing. these are english words in the dictionary, sometimes phrases but the message cannot be understood. i though somebody's using pcanywhere or remote admin, but i already removed the network conexn. i already reinstalled the officexp. this is weird. please help. is this a virus? tried scanning but cant detect any.

I doubt it's as sinister as you think. Likely, speech recognition is enabled on the pc in question.

You may have to restart your computer."
